Community

Our community is at the heart of everything we do.

The mission of the JCC Denver is to build a community, rooted in Jewish values, where everyone feels like they belong. Providing our members of all ages with opportunities to connect with one another is one of the most important things we do. All of our events and programs are designed to bring our community together to celebrate life, friendship, and Jewish Culture.

New Parents

“Firsts” are hard. It’s difficult not knowing what to expect, especially when it comes to welcoming your first child.

Here at the J, we’re here to help and support new parents as they navigate their way through this beautiful stage of life. We offer fantastic programs that educate new parents and welcome them to an inviting community where they can make new friends and connections. We find that there’s nothing more important than having effective resources available, especially in periods of great change, that’s why we’re proud and eager to lend a helping hand to all new parents.

Share every fabulous (and, let’s be honest, not so fabulous) moment of parenthood with community members who are in the exact same boat. We promise our programming will offer the support and love we all need as our families expand and grow.

Young Adults

In our fast-paced 21st century world, it’s difficult for young adults to maintain a relationship with Jewish culture.

Thankfully, our inclusive J programs invite young adults to come together and celebrate what it means to be Jewish. Our JAAMM Festival (Jewish Arts, Authors, Movies, and Music) offers special discounts and programming for young adults in order to establish meaningful connections with Jewish culture and Denver’s young Jewish population. We’re also proud to offer special events during our Denver Jewish Film Festival for our young film lovers. If sports or more your thing, be sure to check out our Tennis Center and our remodeled Fitness & Wellness Center. You’ll work up a sweat and make new connections by taking part in our outstanding fitness programming.

Meet new friends and establish meaningful relationships in the Denver Jewish community by partaking in our fun, fulfilling young adult programs.

Older Adults

Growing old means something different to everyone.

For some, it’s an opportunity to reflect on the many great things that life has presented up to this point. For others, it’s a time to ponder what could have been. No matter your mindset, we all have the concept of “looking back” in common. At the JCC Denver, we believe this phase in your life isn’t only about looking back, it’s also about looking forward—to the many adventures that are yet to come, to what still is unknown, and to the amazing possibilities. There’s no better way to look forward than with friends and community by your side.

It is for that reason that all of the Older Adult and Intergenerational programming offerings are developed with the single goal in mind—to create a comfortable and purposeful environment where adults can connect, learn, and pass along valuable life lessons, all with people in similar states in life.

We think that growing older is an opportunity to learn or try something new and to share your wisdom with generations both young and old. Our diverse program offerings, designed by our very own adult members, range from learning how to use a new mobile device from a professional in the tech world to receiving tips and best practices on how to maintain a long and healthy lifestyle from a licensed consultant.

New to Denver

Let’s be honest: moving to a new city is absolutely terrifying. You have to make new friends, establish new relationships, and to top it off, you might be far away from family.

Well, we have good news! The JCC Denver is here to help. Our programs, staff, and members work together to ensure new Denver-ites have the support they need to feel comfortable and happy in their new home. In order to get a feel for the J, come by and attend our Jewish Aging Mastery Program, our Warm Welcome Playdates, or become a member at our Fitness & Wellness Center. These elite programs will help you meet new friends and establish meaningful connections in your new community.

At the J, we put an emphasis on “community,” so we’re happy to help those who are new to the Denver area. There’s something for everyone here at the J, so once you’re all moved in (or even before!), be sure to stop by and say “hello”. You’ll be glad you did.

New to Denver Resources

Jewish Life

Jewish values and wisdom inform everything we do at the J.

Through educational, cultural, and social programs that are open to anyone, the JCC Denver inspires individuals and families of the Denver Jewish community to pave their very own Jewish path in a safe, inclusive space.

Whether it is participating in our Friday mornings Shabbat Sing with the preschoolers, attending our holiday celebration, or reading about the Jewish artists who’ve filled our walls with their inspiring pieces, we offer a unique, pluralistic environment and Jewish programming that attracts people from all backgrounds, observance levels, experiences, denominations, affiliations, and orientations. No matter your participation level, our goal is to offer you with opportunities to enrich your Jewish understandings.
